We often hear the term ‘Modern British Food’ casually bandied around, but to my mind, I don’t really know what this means. At best, I’d say was traditional British dishes, deconstructed, poncified and served in measly portions – i.e. not terribly appealing. However, with Benares, I think Chef Atul Kochhar has created the very... »

Not counting dodgy doners kebabs which are about as Turkish as The Pope, my knowledge of Turkish food is somewhat limited at best. Fortunately, I had heard some very good things about this highly regarded international chain of Turkish restaurants, so popped down to see what the fuss was about. I was pleasantly surprised... »

You’re on your way home from a long day of work or shopping in the city and craving a great meal. Your conscience says it’s got to be pretty healthy, whilst your grumbly belly and tired body demand something quick and calm surroundings, all without breaking the bank. Sounds difficult, but it’s not entirely... »

You’re too old for the ‘let’s dress in ridiculous clothes and go out in Shoreditch’ scene, you don’t fit in with the young families in the ‘new & improved, ultra-sophisticated’ Clapham and you find Islington just too hectic. So where do you go out now? According to the publicity people, the new place for... »

The sun was shining, people were smiling, cars were topless and the women may as well have been, and every inch of pavement within breathing distance of a pub or bar was packed tighter than Puff Daddy’s wallet. It could only mean one thing - summertime in London. We don’t get a lot of... »

Microwaves, food processors, bread-makers, gas barbeques - you name it and there’s probably a gadget or appliance that makes cooking easier and quicker for you. The problem is that most of these items also take away a crucial level of flavour and satisfaction that comes only with real love, time and hands-on attention. Visiting... »

So it’s Valentine’s Day and I’ve got nothing of any real substance planned. My intention was to go down to Borough Market during the day, have a foodie filled afternoon and spend the evening indoors (abusive letters from female readers at the usual address!). Unfortunately, it appeared that half of London had the same... »

The British diet is often highlighted as being amongst the unhealthiest in the world. Whilst we sign our gym memberships with one hand, we scoff our burgers and chips with the other. The problem is that we have an uncanny ability to turn even the healthiest dishes into fat loaded junk. Chuck on some... »
